BeginWorkToday On Engine Lab
Construction work began today on the Engineering Research laboratory, to be located behind Marvin hall.
Alternate layers of cement and brick, which will serve as foundations for the building, were poured in one of the rear excavations. Other excavations will be filled in when the water remaining from the recent snows is drained.
The "factory" in the basement of Hoch auditorium is manufacturing more than 100 blocks daily for use in the building with only one of the six forms in operation. Nearly 800 blocks have been made since work began eight days ago. The remaining forms are expected to be used soon.
Each of the blocks weighs slightly more than 26 pounds. About 100 blocks can be made from one yard of earth. An estimated 40,000 blocks will be used in the building. This will utilize 400 yards, or 1,080,000 pounds of earth.
When completed, the building will be 160 feet long and 40 feet wide. It will contain seven research laboratories, broadcasting facilities for radio station KFKU, and several other rooms. The project will be completed in about six months.
Henry Experiments With Backfield
Stressing timing on his new set of plays, Gwinn Henry, head football coach, sent his charges through a light workout yesterday afternoon on the regular practice field.
Henry used various backfield combinations in his new formation, which has been dubbed by some a modified "T," but also resembles the double-wing used by the Jayhawks last year.
One offensive backfield had Ralph Miller in the vital quarterback role; Ralph Childs and Harlan Altman, wingbacks; and Don Ettinger, full-back. Ray Niblo and Marvin Vandaveer were in the ball-handling slot in other combinations, with Frank Vratil, Gregory Studer, and Denzil Gibbens, wingbacks; and Ed Linquist as a fullback.
Linemen, in addition to working on fundamentals, set up a five-man defense against the new plays. Next week they will try a six-man line. Dick Wilson, all-city end from Southwest High School, Kansas City, Mo., is an addition to the squad.
Display Prize Prints In Union Lounge
Prize winning prints from the twentieth annual national competition organized by the American Photographic Publishing company are now on display in the lounge of the Memorial Union building.
Requested by Oren Bingham, of the University photographic bureau, the company sent the group of photographs which ranked highest in an amateur contest. The display is being sponsored by the Student Union Activities committee.
Besides representing states of the United States, winning pictures are from South Africa, Italy, Switzerland, India, Greece, England, and Canada.

equate courts it would enjoy overwhelming popularity . . . Why shouldn't steps be made to spend a little money to give Kansas students a sport they all can play; that they all want to play?
"FROSTY" COX, the ex-K.U. cager who builds top-notch basketball teams with Kansas boys—at Colorado U., is again beating his
choicest talent thicket, the state high school basketball tournament in Emporia . . . Accused many times of being a disloyal Kansas alumnus, Cox replies that he takes no boy to Colorado who would enroll at KU. anyway . . To which we add that of course a boy wouldn't enroll at KU. or anywhere else but CU. after verbal intrigue from "Frosty."
WITH TODAY'S column "As We See it" surrenders the Kansan sportlight to a competent sophomore, Gabe Parks . . . "As We See It" has endeavored first, of course, to present the facts . . . In addition it has made an honest effort to add a dash of interesting color, consider all the angles, and please varsity athletes, intramural competitors, coaches, students, townspeople and outsiders as much as possible . . . It has appreciated the various forms of criticism which has reached its ears. Some of them may prove useful . . . It is glad if the words of a bedraggled ex-footballer has brought some entertainment to others. . . In short it has tried hard to publish a good sport page. At least that's as we see it.
